| Germination | 7 – 12 days |
| Start Indoors | RECOMMENDED. 6 to 8 weeks before your average last frost date, transplanting 2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost date. For fall crop, 4 to 6 weeks before transplanting outdoors in summer. Ideal soil temperature for germination is 75°–85°F. Mild Climates: Sow in fall for a cool–season harvest. |
| Direct Sow | 4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date for a summer crop, or 10 to 12 weeks before your average first fall frost date for a fall crop. |
| Growing & Harvesting | Harvest heads when they are well developed, firm, and solid when squeezed. Cut off heads at base with a sharp knife. Cabbages left in the ground beyond maturity are more subject to disease and splitting. Harvest in the morning if possible. If harvested in the heat, dunk in ice water to reduce "field heat" and increase storage time. Allow to drain before storing. |

Very easy to grow. Great germination. Produced beautiful, tasty cabbages. Only issue was cabbage worms and earwigs. Bt spray took care of the cabbage worms. I will definitely plant this again next year!

Copenhagen Cabbage was a huge success this year. Some heads were 7.5 lbs. I grew them under agricultural netting which kept the bugs off. I’ll definitely grow this variety again!
